An ideal gas undergoes an adiabatic process from state $(P_1, V_1, T_1)$ to $(P_2, V_2, T_2)$. The work done during the process is ..... (where $\mu$ = number of moles,$C_P$ and $C_V$ = molar specific heats).

  • A
    $W = \mu(T_1 - T_2)C_P$
  • B
    $W = \mu C_V(T_1 - T_2)$
  • C
    $W = \mu(T_1 - T_2)R$
  • D
    $W = \mu(T_1 + T_2)C_V$
